Daily Alchemy: a question to think on together

Trust ranks through the site stewards' curated lens.
- onI could really use some guidance on exactly how Uptrust works. From what I can tell...........well, I'm clueless. At first I was thinking that uptrusting something made it more popular, and so it functions like a "like" works, while downtrusting something does the opposite, .....but that seems very one dimensional and doesn't really lend to the credibility of what was said, just its popular agreement.....which is more often than not, based on something other than the argument put forth. People go with prejudgments, biases and loyalties, whether it supports a group they already identify with, whether the language is aesthetically pleasing to them or shocking, whether they already had that opinion....and more. To create a platform that filters out attention in favor of legitimacy it'd seem like a deeper dive into the specifics of what is trusted and what isn't about each post is needed. And it seems to me that either Uptrust is either doomed to keep variance out of it, as the experience of their product is one where odd voices can't break in, leading eventually to a kind of stagnancy, or I'm missing something pivotal about how it works.by

- onI am someone who believes that understanding the truth is worth the effort, even when it is uncomfortable. I have never been satisfied with accepting things simply because they are popular or because someone in authority says they are true. I ask questions, I look for evidence, and I try to understand what is really happening beneath the surface. I would rather spend time researching an issue than repeat someone else's opinion.by
